does anyone know about these guys??? are they as good as they seem??

I have spoken with Lex Weberneck(sp.)a couple of times over the phone,he seems like a nice guy and straight shooter. I have also handled a few of his rifles but never shot one. They are top notch quality in fit and finish. As far as I know he has a great reputation as a gun builder especially in the niche on ultra light rifles. There have been a few articles on his rifles over the years in the gun rags. Maybe you could do a search on g&a or shooting times web sites.

I just noticed you are in Spokane. You are not far from Jim Dubell, Way don't you just take you rifle to him. Being a professional gun hacker I'm sure he'll be glad to swiss cheese it for you and through it in a u-gly plastic stock.

All joking aside Jim has the skills necessary to make a "skeltonized" action just not sure if he will or not.

Any way good luck and welcome to AR.

There was a older gentleman at my range that had one. Its a plastic stock rifle and had lightening holes machined in the bolt handle, etc.

I asked him, Is that a remington action. Yep 7mmmag. He let me handle it. pretty light weight.

Not my cup of tea. But he seemed to be thrilled with it.

who is jim dubell?? sounds like i herd that name befor, is he from the colville area?

Hello yzm19,

I bought a rifle from Rifles, Inc. , a Classic model, and I am 100% satified. I ordered it in the summer of 2003 and it was completed in 6 months, as promised. It is built on a stainless Winchester Model 70 (new CRF version) action with a #5 contour Lilja barrel chambered for the .300 Rem Ultra Mag and finished at 26 inches. It has no muzzle break. I choose a titanium nitride finish, which is extremely non-reflective, as desired. I opted for a Jewell trigger and Williams bottom metal.

If you'll send a PM with your email address, I'll send some photos and 100 yard targets.

It's been to Namibia twice now. I've not have a problem with it.
